Antenna Length Calculator

Calculate quarter-wave and half-wave antenna lengths from a given frequency.
Supports output in meters, centimeters, feet, and inches.

Antenna Length

Antenna length is based on the wavelength of the target frequency.

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light / Frequency

Half-wave antenna = λ / 2

Quarter-wave antenna = λ / 4

Where the speed of light ≈ 299,792,458 m/s.

Unit conversions:

  • Meters — base unit
  • Centimeters — meters × 100
  • Feet — meters × 3.28084
  • Inches — meters × 39.3701

Common frequencies:

  • FM radio (88–108 MHz): ~1.4–1.7 m half-wave
  • Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz: ~6.25 cm half-wave
  • Wi-Fi 5 GHz: ~3 cm half-wave
  • LoRa 915 MHz: ~16.4 cm half-wave

A velocity factor of 0.95 is applied to approximate real-world conductor shortening.
